John Bannister to retire as Rector of Whitehaven

John Banniser, the campaigning Rector of Whitehaven, announced at the 10 am Eucharist at St James' church today that he is to retire in March.

His formal retirement date will be the 31st of March but in practice his last service at St James' will be on the afternoon of Saturday 9th March. He will be moving with his family to South Cumbria.

John Bannister has taken up a great many causes in Whitehaven over the past thirteen years. He will be greatly missed. I wish John and his wife a very happy retirement.
